Looking for $200 acoustic/electric for church coffee house

[beatlenut]

Just need something half-way decent to be used at our church coffee house for people to use if they decide they want to play on the "spur of the moment".

Possibles: Yamaha, Seagull, Takamine, Fender, Washburn, Rogue, Ibanez, Agile ....

Washburn D-10SCE. Cutaway dread, solid top, lam mahog back & sides, nice electronics with on board controls. Very playable Chinese made guitar. They go on the internet for $199 or even $189.

I know Jason at notableguitars.com has one.  Email him about it.

If you don't already have something, I have a Takamine EG330C cutaway dread that I was playing at church until I got my Larrivee.  It fits your price range.  I'll PM you as well.

www.starvingmusician.com has a $99 Yamaha FG .
www.showcaseswapshop.com has a constant influx of cheap, good 2nd-hand guitars.
They are both stores in Santa Clara or San Jose, CA.
Check them out! I will look out for one for you, and try it out to give an unbiased opinion.

Thanks guys.   It must be a/e which I don't think the Yamaha is and showcasesswapshop doesn't have any acoustics listed on their site at this time.

The Alvarez Regent series are very nice, very playable guitars for the money. I think they may have some in your price range. There are lots of online dealers and I see them in many local shops.

the washburn listed here on the forum might fit the bill.

i have an older (96? 97?) takamine eg-140shc that i might part with (a little more than your price w/ shipping).

solid spruce top, laminate rosewood back/sides (it says nato, but i think that's a typo).

pm me if you're interested.
